When online favourite Ruche came out with their much anticipated debut bridal collection ‘To Have and To Hold’ (just 5 short months ago) stylish brides on a budget everywhere rejoiced (and so did I)! Supporting small boutique brands and indie designers, Ruche offers stylish, vintage inspired (but with a modern touch) clothing and accessories at incredibly affordable prices.

With this their latest Bridal offering for Fall 2012, aptly named Lace & Lavender, Ruche has again delivered a collection of gowns, bridesmaid dresses, shoes and accessories that exude the femininity, delicacy, and softness that is quickly becoming their trademark. Couple this with super romantic makeup by KC Witkamp, floral design by Star Events Floral Design and furniture rentals by  Found Vintage Rentals, all perfectly captured in breathtaking images by This Modern Romance and you have a bridal collection that not only contains timelessly beautiful gowns but also the inspiration for your entire wedding.

No longer do brides have to compromise on style to save a few pennies. Ruche wedding dresses have unique shapes, modern design details and plenty of intricate adornments – lace, embroidery, and delicate stitching, to give the couture look and feel, but without the couture cost, with many of the wedding dresses below $500! And if you’re enamoured with one of the biggest trends in weddings of late and love the idea of each of your bridesmaids having her own unique look, Ruche have a range of bridesmaid dresses perfect for mixing and matching either in the same colour or the same palette, in styles that are sure to flatter every member of your bridal party, with most bridesmaid dresses below $100 – pretty amazing!

If you haven’t already yet, scroll through the images and fall in love and then head over to Ruche to start shopping…..

And if that isn’t enough inspiration for you, they also have a Wedding Bliss Guide packed full of tips from the experts and DIY projects to give your wedding those all important personal touches!
